Linking folders vs linking files

 1: Why TI examples link only the .c files instead of .c and .h files?

Header files are not required to be linked to the project, as long as their path is provided for the compiler to be able to "find" them (include paths are provided under Project Properties->Build->Compiler->Include Options).

2: If I am linking project folders, is there a way I can only link .c files?

All files within a linked folder will be considered to be part of the build by default, but you have the option of excluding certain files from build. Please see:

I believe source files/folders are built in alphabetical order (with source files in the main project folder built before files in sub-folders). The order in which source files are built shouldn't matter as much as the order in which they are linked. Is that what you are asking about? If so, the order in which files are passed to the linker can be controlled from Project Properties->Build->Link Order tab.

Hi AartiG,

              Thank you for response my post. 

              I got your first response.  I am not sure about 2nd and 3rd answer. 

              I feel you seem to guide me to a link or something but the website failed to load. Could you attach the link one more time?

              For the 3rd response, I am a little bit confuse.  Based on your response, if I have two folders(Alfa and Beta) inside my RTSC project directory. Alfa contains main.c and Belta contains library that Alfa will use.  Alfa should build first following alphabetical order.  Even so Alfa need function definition from Belta and Belta has not been build yet, but it's not a issue since Link Order should take care of it.   Do I understand correct?
